Roman Catholic Irish were subdued to ethnic cleansing policy by Oliver Cromwell. After his suppression of a rebellion against the English in 1649 he ordered that the Irish were allowed to live west of the Shannon river only. During guerrilla warfare that followed thousands of Irish died or were sold as slaves to America. Cromwell had promised Irish land to the business investors and soldiers who had helped him perform his expeditions. The ‘Act for the Attainder of the Rebels in Ireland’ of 17 September 1656 is part of this programme. The land of rebels is attained and ‘rebels’ are defined in such a way that all Catholics match. By the end of 1656 four fifths of the Irish land was in protestant hands.
Attainders, eh?

A stunning tilt-shift homage to Singapore by Australian photographer and filmmaker Keith Loutit who sez:
For ‘The Lion City’, the idea behind the extension of the tilt shift technique is for focus and distance to be something the viewer can experience. It also doubles to communicate the constant heat and humidity that hits you whenever you leave the comfort of air conditioning in Singapore.
